Hello,
we have deployed VDI for a number of users, we were asked to do so out of necessity, and didn't have the time to plan this out fully.
be that as it may, we deployed it, and people are very happy with it.
now, before deploying it to other people, we wanted to do some fine tuning.
one of the fine tuning measures that we wanted is view persona.
currently we have view persona turned on, and all the users are basically having their entire profile stored on a network share.
while this is fine, we are starting to run into issues.
one issue is not being able to control the size of the profile.
users just dump as much as they want on their profile without much thought..
my question(s) is,
how can one design a better infrastructure ,where users can download stuff, but are made aware of how much they are using ?? .. what are you guys doing out there in the real world.. ??
thank you,
A
hi
persona can exclude some folders from saving to the share folder this can reduce storage cost
for example
excluding Video folder from redirection or my music
Scanning User Profiles with Antivirus Checkers this will reduce IOPS
like using Vshield endpoint

Another idea might be to enable folder redirection for the larger folders in the profile, put the redirected folder share on different storage (perhaps a larger disk) than the CPS, and implement disk quotas there to limit the amount of space the user can consume.
Thanks,

hi Erik,
the problem is with Persona profile that have some issue on syncing file and folder redirection that's way VMware buy a new product called Immidio

you will need to focus on how many IOPS can storage handle
Rotational Latency + Seek Latency
